Ximena | Faceted Mexican Fire Opal & Diamond-Accented Ring in Sterling Silver
Three distinct clusters of seven faceted round Mexican fire opals form a bouquet-like appearance with their strong red-orange body tones across this cluster fire opal ring. A frame of polished sterling silver beads surrounds each side of the fire opal clusters, giving the appearance of diamond accents—two of which indeed are natural diamonds; one in the center of the top frame, and another in the center of the bottom frame. These frames meet together at the edges of the ring leading into the shank, a cast filigree detail on each side. - Sourced from an Ocala, Florida estate, this contemporary ring shows light signs of wear along its shank that have been hand-polished to reduce their appearance. One connecting element of the ring's side gallery design is missing; its character appears to be original to the manufacturing process and not the result of prior wear. This has no impact on the structural integrity of the design. - Approximate default ring size 7.00 US.
